Has anyone had trouble with their auto wipers at all? Just I sometimes get an error message saying Wiper sensor failed when it actually works fine & with no error message they only work when they want to. :bang:

Never had that yet as an error message?! Must put it on my list

I've had that plenty of times, often seen in conjunction with Parking sensor failure. It seems to go off after a short while, and doesn't stop the wipers doing the impression of working that they are so good at.

I might ask fiat to plug the car in, and see what the computer says..

yip had this one - got it when there was ice on the windscreen over winter but it never stopped it working. I got an engine fault the other day after I stalled it . It took a few restarts to clear i which was a worry, especially as the car was three years old to the day the day before!

dont have this on a punto, we have a big glass window in front of us, when it rains you can see wet spots on the window and then switch on your wipers yourself, how cool is that

True, but Auto wipers is slightly different - it basically takes over from the intermitent wipe.

On my Mondeo, I had 5 or 6 speeds for intermitent wipe, and I was forever playing with it, depending on type of downpour, and changing conditions as you drove. Both my Ulysse and Stilo have autowipers, and they are great [although Ulysse seems to work slightly better] - stops you having to change from 'wipers off, wipers on, intermitent, flick wipe' - therefore more time to play with other gadgets in the car, like autolights

Well done stu thanks for sticking up for us lazy b*****ds.
